case has been affirmed by the gen.

ing, Sharp will have to go to Sing
Sing to avoid trial in the Court of

Lord Mayor Sullivan and William
O'Brien have been summoned to ap-
pear before the Dublin Police Court
to answer charges of publishing re-
ports of the doings of suppressed
branches of the National League.
A terrible accident occurred on
the Mobile and Ohio II. r. about
miles south of jackson, Tenn,
Sept. 25th. An entire train except
the engine, was thrown from tres
tie while running at the rate of 40
miles per hour. +; 30 persons were
injured, some seriously and probab-

geles resulted in the smashing up of

On Sept. oath, the trial of Will
liam O'Brien under the Coercion
act was concluded. He was de-
clared guilty, and sentenced to 3
months Imprisonment; notice of
appeal was given.
Mr.. O'Brien, replying to the
charge made against him of having
used seditious language in public
address, declared that the Court WAS
not competent to try him, because
it was foreign in its composition to
the requirements ST the British Con-
stitution. At this point the Judge
stopped O'Brien, saying the discus
sion of politics would not be allowed
in the proceedings.
O.Brien thereupon declared that
he was the chosen representative of
the Irish people, and would advo-
cate free speech, when the Court
again stopped him.
O'Brien in bis speech of defense,
said that the Crown was guilty of
having suppressed evidence favor
able to him. The Crown had With
held for instance, notes made by
the head constable of defendants
speech. In these notes he said, was
recorded the statement that the
Irish party would give the Land bill
fair play. Continuing, O'Brien JUS
titled the Kingstown tenants on the
ground that the evictions, against
tenn were commenced on the eve of
the passage of the Land bill, and
thus an attempt was made to de-
fraud the poor tenants of the bene-
fits of tine measure. He admitted
he had advised tenants not to give
up without resistance, and that he
had declared that before God and
man they were justified in defending
their homes.
London, Sept. 22.-The case for
the Micthellstown police has been
badly damaged, if not smashed, by
the evidence of the District Inspec-
tor, who declares that some of the
men fired without proper orders.
He hints that the County Inspector
was palic-stricken, and he blames
him for having given orders without
personally controlling the firing.
He also says he disapproyed of the
order to charge the crowd. Mean
while, Ireland is rapidly advancing
on the road to anarchy. The Land
Act does not work. Eyictions are
only prevented by the action of the
National League, which is still Wig
orous even in the proclaimed dis
tricts. The country is getting more
and more disorderly. The police
are everywhere baffied, while the
English sympathy appears to be on
the increase. A number Of Liberal
men and women have gone oyer to |
Ireland to inspect the eyiotions and |
speak at the League meetings. THE
Dnionists press urges the Govern
meat to further activity.

Eruption within comparatively recent

tltes thai the .earti's crust is SO
hin that continual reminders that

IN eruption may occur NJ any mo-
nent without warning.
